About the "B-Side" thing that |>oug mentioned: Could she have been
referring to "Passing Through Air," perhaps? Wasn't it recorded at David
Gilmour's house?

If you think *that* sounds flimsy, how about *this*: "Novercia" is an
anagram of "Veronica." Not being as familiar as some with the Bush family
history, I could not begin to hazard a guess whether this could be the name
of some grandmother, aunt, childhood friend, pet cat, or whatnot. Perhaps
she was making reference to Archie and Jughead's friend (Veronica was the
rich one, right?). :-)

That was me....

Aha! Well, this ties in with my question about runout groove messages,
doesn't it?

I've pretty much given up on the flower; Angie thinks she's spotted a "KT"
in the shadow's above the right eye of the cover photo (Kate's *left* eye,
that is), near her hairline. On even-numbered days, I see it, too.

   ^^^^^^^^^^
Now *there's* a band that I *never* thought I'd see mentioned in
rec.music.gaffa! Scarier, in their own (hopefully) inimitable fashion, than
Siouxsie and the Banshees, er, put together....
